My game is installed here C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Owner\Application Data\0ad so i don't think the underscore would have any effect, and also i'm on winXp two things i thought it might be that my video card is integrated 128mb crap, and the computer is from 2005, i also don't have openGL or webGL (if that matters) and my directX has that funny problem where it keeps saying i have directX9.0b no matter how many times i remove directX all together and install again, i've tried everything google threw at me to solve this, but like i said, i don't know if any of these things would cause this. @Sonarpulse my profile is the only one on this computer and it's set as administrator @Pedro falcao i'm on win XP and like i said the game is in this folder, C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Owner\Application Data\0ad PS: the game does launch ok, i can choose map, choose civ, it's only when i start the match and the map loads to 100% that i get this error and then it closes game
